Dino Dad 81 Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hello, I got this tooth that was labeled "raptor" from the hell creek fm. In the ad--and now in-person too--I think it's a T. Rex tooth. The trickiest part is getting anything on the mesial carina, there's quite a bit of wear / weak / lack of denticles. I'd love to get your thoughts on whether there's enough here to stamp it T. Rex. About 3/mm distal Attempts as mesial carina (strong twist) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Its definitely a Tyrannosaurid tooth. Did they provide you a locality where it was found? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Dad 81 Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Hi @Troodon! Garfield County, Montana Would it help if I can do better on the mesial carina? The strength of this bulge here was a main Rex suspicion of mine: I suppose I could also take a shot looking down on the tip, as if inspecting tooth position, if that help.

Troodon Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Not necessary, its definitely Trex with the profile of that base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
